    Commendable for the kid to be thinking outside of the box, and a bit shitty of the teacher for not giving them maybe half a point (because it’s a correct answer, but not the correct/expected answer). The test maker is also to blame - they should’ve taken care to eliminate all ambiguity - it’s a math test after all.

        Oh, yes, you’re right! I read the question again.

        P.S. And if really is a fake/made up test like some other folks claim in the comments, just look at how much of a discussion it throws us into.
